Şofben düzelince sıcak su hemen geldi.

Şofben means water heater or boiler, especially the kind that provides hot water for washing or showering. In everyday Turkish, it often refers to a household hot-water unit.

So Şofben düzelince... means something like When the water heater started working again...

Düzelince comes from:

• düzelmek = to get fixed, to improve, to become normal, to start working properly
• -ince / -ınca = when / once / as soon as

So:

• düzel-
  • -ince → düzelince
• meaning: when it got fixed, once it was fixed, or when it started working properly again

In this sentence, Şofben düzelince means when the water heater got fixed / started working again.

Because Turkish often expresses when by adding a suffix directly to the verb.

Here, English uses a separate word:

• when the water heater was fixed

Turkish instead uses:

• şofben düzelince

So the suffix -ince/-ınca does the job of English when, once, or sometimes as soon as.

This is an important difference:

• düzelmek = to get fixed, to become corrected, to improve
  
  • intransitive
• düzeltmek = to fix something, to correct something
  
  • transitive

In the sentence, the water heater itself is the thing that became fixed / started working again, so düzelmek is the right verb.

Compare:

• Şofben düzeldi. = The water heater got fixed / started working again.
• Tamirci şofbeni düzeltti. = The repairman fixed the water heater.

It can suggest either one in English, depending on context.

Most naturally here, it means:

• when it got fixed
• when it started working again
• once it was fixed

Turkish does not force exactly the same distinction that English sometimes makes between was fixed and got fixed. The important idea is that the heater returned to proper working condition.

Because düzelince is a subordinate verb form, not a full finite verb like geldi.

• geldi = came
  This is the main verb, so it carries tense directly.
• düzelince = when it got fixed / once it was fixed
  This form already functions as a time clause, so it does not need a separate past ending here.

Its time reference is understood from the whole sentence. Since the main clause is in the past (geldi), the düzelince event is also understood in that past context.

Because in Turkish, adjectives usually come before the noun.

So:

• sıcak su = hot water
• soğuk su = cold water
• temiz su = clean water

If you say su sıcak, that means the water is hot, where sıcak is acting as a predicate, not an adjective inside a noun phrase.

So:

• sıcak su geldi = hot water came
• su sıcak = the water is hot

In Turkish, gelmek is very natural for things like water, electricity, gas, or service becoming available.

So sıcak su geldi means:

• the hot water came
• more naturally in English: the hot water started coming
• or there was hot water again

This is a normal Turkish way to describe the arrival or return of a utility or flow.

Hemen means immediately, right away, or at once.

So:

• sıcak su geldi = hot water came
• sıcak su hemen geldi = hot water came immediately / right away

It emphasizes that as soon as the heater was working again, the hot water became available without delay.

The given sentence is natural, but Turkish word order is somewhat flexible.

Standard neutral order:

• Şofben düzelince sıcak su hemen geldi.

Possible variations include:

• Şofben düzelince hemen sıcak su geldi.
• Sıcak su şofben düzelince hemen geldi.

These can shift emphasis slightly, but the original version is very natural and clear.

A useful general point is that the main verb often comes at the end in Turkish, which is exactly what happens here with geldi.

Turkish does not have articles like English a and the.

So:

• şofben can mean a water heater or the water heater
• sıcak su can mean hot water or the hot water

The exact meaning is understood from context. In this sentence, English naturally uses the because both things are specific in the situation:

• the water heater
• the hot water

But Turkish does not need separate article words to express that.
